tons made by that act. Stated In another
way, he holds that II there Is any money
in the Treasury at the time the appropria-
ton for the school is due, 'n0t otherwise
appropriated, the appropriation for the
scDool must be paid. Under his view,
there will be sufficient money in the
Treasury TO paw the appropriation.
The Comptroller has no other object IN
view than STRICT compliance with the law,
and this. he declares, is the reason why

OF the Attorney General. the Comptroller,
and the Treasurer. and then, at the sug-

From the Athens too. Banner.
On Saturday evening last, about sun
down, there happened on the farm of
Messrs. Edwards Sc Arnold, in Ogle.
thorpe county, near the Oconee line, one
OF the most horrible tragedies it has ever
been our province to record. 1t appears
that negro man named Jesse Campbell,
who Is a tenant of these gentlemen, Was
quite q sportsman, and being the owner
of an old manufacturing shotgun, spent a
good portion of his time in the fields and
woods. He had some half a dozen chill
dren, but they all being girls except the
youngest, that was a baby, he always,
when out hunting, carried his little
daughter, Clarissa Ann, aged Is or IA
years, with him to turn squirrels while
he shot them. On Saturday afternoon tn
father and child started out on a bird
hunt, but met with poor success. AS the
sun was about setting Jerre decided to go
through swamp, to see If be could not
find a rabbit. He told the little girl to go
around, so if a rabbit Jumped up she
might tell him. The swamp was a dense
thicket, and it was slow work getting
through it. Hence the child got ahead OF
her father, but was concealed by the
bushes. Finding no rabbits, Jerre de-
cided to Kill bird to take home to the
baby. He fred three times at the little
birds, the last time at a joreker, but
missed it. At the third report of his gun
ne heard the little girl scream out inst IN
front OF his gun. He hastened to the
spot from whence the scream proceeded,
and discovered the child standing up. He
asked il she was Js46t ta,C larissa replied
Ina' sIe olg4 that he wou Hou AZ NOT see

butho can poll amid up ana carried her
to tvker did, a-r Mich was not lar distant.
A messenger was at once dispatched TO
Crawford for DR.. WIllingham, but it was
II O'Clock at night before he reached the
patient. About fifteen minutes before
the doctors arrival the child had
breathed her last. DR.. Willingham
made an examination of the wounds.
He found that three shot, No. 2, had en-
tered the head, one penetrating the eve
and one the centre of the forehead. The
doctor ran an instrument for three inches
into the wound. He says the child was
| unconscious from the time the shot struck
her, and even had he been on the spot al
the time of the shooting, that he could not
have saved her. The father was stuUeticd
with grief, aud while he was not very de.
mOnstTatiVe, ne went around as one daZed
with horror at the result OF his careless.
ness. An inquest was not held, as the
shooting was purely accidental. The
man, OF course, had no idea that the child
had gotten in front OF his gun when he
! shot at the bird. The gun must have beer
heavily charged, to have sent a sho,
with sufficient force to penetrate the
child'S skull as deep as il went.
